When BPM arrived with 8.03, I did some testing and used .Net code instead of
Progress. The issue I had was that while I was testing BPMs in the test
database and the code started running in live. I stopped testing at that
point.

We're going to start testing BPM again on 8.03.400 since it's on another
machine and because Epicor is now frowning on the use of the Progress
super-procedures(?) that override normal business objects and wants people to
move to BPM.

I am trying to code an event to occur from within MES on the closing of the
"Report Quantity" screen (after the changes have been made to the
LaborDetail record in the DB). I need the event to be conditional based the
"ResourceGrpID" from the "RQ" DataView. I am asking the group having been
frustrated with my lack of experience customizing the 8.x product.
This is what I have learned so far, I welcome any help.
1. The row seems to be removed from the DataView as soon as it is written,
therefore the "Closing" form event seems to have no usable data.
2. I tried writing the ResourceGrpId to a variable, but that seems to be
destroyed by the time Closing is triggered as well.
3. I have been able to read the value fine and even get a message box to
prove it based on several types of form events.
4. The row still exists if I click cancel, but not if I click Ok.

The data has to be written to the DB by the time my code executes because I
also have a BAM that must run first triggered on the change of the LaborDtl
Record.

If anyone can offer any assistance I would really appreciate it.

I would investigate the BPM processes in vantage. They offer they
ability to process conditional events before and after the update of
the data. Only issue is the coding in the BPM needs to be progress code.
